Fraction to Base Name (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on converting metric unit fractions to their standard base names. It is integrated with a broader curriculum on scientific notation. Specifically, students are challenged to identify the correct unit names for given fractions of metric units, such as 1/1,000,000 or 1/1,000. Possible answers include terms like milli, micro, and nano among others. The task helps deepen understanding of metric units, a foundational aspect of scientific measurements and calculations.
